Paragon
The role of Paragon is bestowed when a Channeler is selected. A new Channeler chooses people they trust, admire, fear, respect, or any combination of the three.
The Paragons are the Shrouded Theocracy's governors. Every Paragon has a specialty, an aspect of Shroud that they a responsible for maintaining. Often, Paragons will overlap responsibilities with their peers and assist one-another when necessary.
Each Paragon also commands six Hexknights. These Hexknight are their supporters and their instruments, to enact their will and realize their vision for Shroud's future. Paragons do not normally defend themselves from harm. They have security forces for that, so it is also important that a Paragon garners the respect of their Hexknights, so that they are defended should the worst come to pass.
Most Paragons are in the public eye. Unlike the intimidatingly powerful Hexknights, the faithful find more to identify with in these pious governors. There are always exceptions, as some Paragons done things such as wage public wars against heresy, ruling by fear. That said, fear and faith draw citizens to the Paragons. They believe because they need to believe their rulers are somehow better than them, that they can rise above their humanity.
